The butt stock weighs in at 3.8 pounds IIRC. The rifle comes in at around 15 pounds empty. I hadn't done any real gun building for a long time and decided to try some ideas out on that build before taking on more complicated stuff. In order to make that stock work I also had to make my own buffer tube.

I have some photos of the machining of the stock, a few strange setups since it was a prototype. I don't think this picture thread is the place to put them but you can see some of them on the weaponsguild in a thread from July 2009. You'll have to be a member to see them, but it's free.Login

Shortly after that build I did a dedicated .22LR upper using a Remington 513T barrel. The thread from that one is here: Login
